Chapter 368 Self-taught Riley

Felissa opened up several rooms to serve as large classrooms.

In order to take care of Riley, Felissa gave priority to answering Riley's questions, and no one else had any objections, so Riley had no choice but to speak out his questions in front of everyone.

He was a little uneasy, fearing that his question was vulgar and boring, but fortunately no one expressed such a view to his question.

Felissa answered his questions. In fact, his questions were mainly about literacy. Riley didn't ask any arithmetic questions.

Does he know how to do it? Although she had such doubts in her heart, there was no clue on Felissa's face.

Riley did not leave after getting the answer to his question. Instead, he listened to others asking Felissa questions and Felissa's explanation.

Unlike him, most of the other people's problems were related to arithmetic. After all, literacy is more of a matter of rote memorization than arithmetic, which requires understanding.

After Felicia finished answering everyone's questions, she glanced at Riley and saw that he was still in a "fascinated" state and had not yet recovered.

Does he really understand?

What she just talked about was a word problem of linear equations of one variable.

She had long forgotten whether she had encountered difficulties when learning linear equations of one variable, but judging from the reactions of others now, there were still certain understanding problems, and she would encounter situations where she couldn't even understand the questions. After all, they had just just

Start to read.

"Riley," Felissa said, waking up Riley from his trance, "Are you interested in doing a question?"

"Huh?" Riley pointed at himself in confusion, "Me? But I can't."

But in fact, he understood it completely just now. If it was a similar question to the one just now, he should be able to solve it...probably.

Felissa encouraged him: "Just tell me what you think. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it. You have just started to learn."

Then, without waiting for his answer, Felissa read out a question: Jack is five times as old as his son now. Six years later, he will be three times as old as his son. How old is his son this year?

Upon hearing this question, the retired soldiers represented by Jason all showed painful expressions. They really didn't understand why Felicia was so interested in this kind of question. Either A and B were walking towards each other, or A was walking first and B was behind.

Chai, what’s the point of asking such a boring question?

Riley, however, subconsciously fell into deep thought after hearing the title.

He is different from others. He does not think this topic is boring or meaningless. On the contrary, he thinks these numbers are wonderful. They are just simple addition and subtraction to form an equation. He even thinks this can be called

Art.

Before, he would have been helpless when faced with such a problem, but after listening to Felissa's lecture today, he seemed... to be able to do it.

"Suppose Jack's son's age is

Riley slowly expressed his ideas in a deep voice, but he got stuck in calculations. He was not yet skilled enough to do mental calculations, so he frowned in distress.

But Felissa only needed him to do this: "Isn't this all city."

Riley was stunned: "But I didn't calculate it."

Felissa shook her head: "The important thing in mathematics is not the answer, but the idea. The answer can always be calculated, but how can there be an answer without the idea."

In my previous life's math exam, even if I got the answer wrong, I still got points for the process. As long as the process was correct, the answer would be calculated sooner or later.

"Is...is that so?" Riley was a little confused. In the environment he had been exposed to since he was a child, the calculated results were much more important than the process, because only accurate results could tell how much money they could make this time and how much money they needed.

How much does it cost.

But Felissa said that the answer was not important.

"For arithmetic, the answer is important, but for mathematics, the answer is not important." Felicia said meaningfully.

This is the first time many people have heard the term mathematics. What they learned before was called arithmetic. Although arithmetic was also mathematics in Felissa's previous life, Felissa still made a distinction here.

So many people are confused: "What is mathematics, and how is it different from arithmetic?"

"Mathematics is the knowledge between numbers," Felissa said, "and the calculation methods used in arithmetic are part of mathematics. Studying the laws between numbers is also a way for us to understand the world."

Someone whispered softly: "Then I don't want to learn mathematics at all. Anyway, as long as I can do arithmetic, it's enough."

Felicia burst out laughing. The importance of mathematics is complementary to the development of science and technology. Science and technology have not yet developed, or most people have not yet realized the importance of science and technology. How can we expect them to understand?

What about the role of mathematics?

"It doesn't matter," Felissa didn't force it. "As long as you finish learning this book of arithmetic, don't learn it if you don't want to learn it in the future. Leave the research on mathematics to those who are interested."

When she said this, Felissa's eyes were fixed on Riley.

Riley lay on Richie's back, quietly thinking about what Felissa said today.

"I seem to have found what I want to do." Riley suddenly said softly.

"What did you say?" Richie, who was looking intently at the road ahead, didn't hear clearly what Riley just said.

But Riley didn't need Rich to hear what he just said. He was just saying to himself: "I want to study mathematics."

Ever since his leg was broken, his life seemed to be all gloomy. He could only lie in bed every day and couldn't even take care of himself. He was a useless person. If he hadn't been able to give some feasible suggestions to his elder brother's construction team,

His sister-in-law probably wanted to kick him out a long time ago.

And he, who would be useless if no one takes care of him, can actually do something on his own, and he also likes to do this.

Is there anything luckier than this in the world?

Although Miss Felicia did not say it explicitly, he could tell that Miss Felicia needed someone to study mathematics instead of just arithmetic. In this case, he was willing to be such a person.

Anyway, except for his brother's family, he has no other concerns, and his brother's life will be easier without him as a burden. He has a lot of time to study mathematics.

Rich heard what Riley was saying this time, and he said without thinking: "That's great, I will always stay with my uncle to take care of him. When the uncle goes to study mathematics, I will be responsible for teaching others arithmetic."

.”

He had not forgotten what Miss Felicia had called his uncle here to do. Then he would do his uncle's job, so that his uncle could concentrate on studying mathematics.

On this day, both uncle and nephew found their goals at the same time
